Chapter 42: The Magical Congress of America (Part I)

Sitting on the Hogwarts Express to London Station, Daphany was in a bad mood. Because the last game of the first round that ended the day before yesterday, Slytherin actually lost to Hufflepuff. In less than ten minutes into the opening period, Cedric got his hands on the Golden Snitch.

Balloons, especially balloons. When the Golden Snitch appeared, he was less than twenty meters away from Cedric, and Draco was on the other side of the pitch.

At that time, the score had reached an astonishing 220:80! Hufflepuff was crushed by Slytherin. But even so, the Golden Snitch's 150 bonus cost Slytherin the game.

"The weight of the Golden Snitch is too high, it's not fair!" Daphany grumbled fiercely. Draco, who sat across from Daphine, shrunk his neck, although the whole team didn't think that he was responsible for losing the last game, but his capture rate of the Golden Snitch was indeed a bit low.

"I said," looking at Draco and Pansy, who was quailing on the other side, and Pansy, who was also obedient, Daphany smacked her mouth and said to Draco, "Isn't your old man going to Germany?" What are you doing back? ”

The white peacock didn't know if it was influenced by Daphany, and it began to change from the original day of staying in the manor to play with power, to making money in various businesses. I took my wife to Germany to discuss business at Christmas, which shows how strong the enthusiasm is. As a result, the Malfoy family's wealth has swelled significantly, although it is not as good as Daphine, who is already a supplier of potions in the entire wizarding world, but it is already a top revenue producer in the UK.

"I'll go too!" Draco said of course, "I haven't been to Germany yet, so I happened to go with my parents." ”

"What about Pansy?" Daphany turned to Pansy.

"She's coming with me!" Draco grinned, and Pansy smiled sheepishly. Daphany knew that Pansy's relationship with Draco was about to be finalized. If there are no accidents, it is estimated that it will be either this year or next year, and the engagement will be made. Did Draco and Pansy get together in the original story? I don't remember, but in my own place, it seems that the two of them are about to come to fruition.

"Cousin," Draco asked, equally strangely, "as far as I know, Aunt Talia seems to be on business in the Americas." Can she come back for Christmas? ”

"You're well-informed." Daphany glanced at Draco, who stuck out his tongue. Daphne didn't really care, it was too easy for a magician to know the news of an ordinary person. At this time, Taliya was already considered the number one person in the human world. Naturally, there are no secrets. Draco was occasionally curious, and asked his own elves to find out in minutes. As for Draco's question, she didn't hide it: "You remember that girl from the Meng family in the Americas, she invited me over several times. I'm going to take advantage of this holiday to go and see her. It just so happened that Mommy was over there. ”

"You're going to the United States!" Draco was immediately a little envious. Although Germany is also going abroad, compared to the United States, the difference is huge. If nothing else, the United States is bigger than Germany. What's more, if you want to go to the United States......

"Cousin, how are you going? Is the apparition manifest? Draco vaguely expected Daphany to answer.

"No, I'm flying!" Daphine said. Not only Draco, but even Pansy was envious.

"Airplanes, Muggle planes. I've heard that it's faster than a fire bolt, and it's very comfortable to sit on! Pansy muttered. Draco was also muttering about the fact that the plane was so big that it could seat dozens or hundreds of people.

Daphine smiled, in fact, she was also a little excited. Shamefully, he's never been on a plane.

In the first life, he was a waste wood otaku at the beginning, and he didn't have the opportunity to fly. Then the end of the world came, and there were no more planes. In my previous life, it was a magical world, and there were no airplanes. In this life, she has not had the opportunity to fly until now. Speaking of which, it's still a little exciting.

Daphine, who is less than fourteen years old, is said to be a bit troublesome to fly at this age. However, none of this was a problem for Daphne, who was skilled in the Enchantment, Confusion, and even Imperius Charms.

The process went smoothly, and a few hours later, Daphany landed in New York. As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Meng Yuchen in high spirits.

"I said, how did you get in?" Dafanie was a little confused, I didn't hear that the pick-up person could come to the airport.

"Phantom manifestation!" Meng Yuchen was a little stunned by Dafanie's question, and said as a matter of course.

Daphany wanted to give herself a mouthful. Why do you ask such a stupid question, everyone is a magician, who still abides by the rules of ordinary people?

The Magical Congress of the United States also forbade young magicians under the age of sixteen from using apparitions, so Meng Yuchen came with an adult in the family. Meng Yuchen introduced her cousin, but judging by her inattentive performance, it seems that it should be a side branch. But Daphany still greeted politely.

With the help of Meng Yuchen's cousin, the three of them did not go through the airport passage, and a phantom appeared to the Meng family's mansion in New York.

The main influence of the Meng family is in Canada, but they also have business in important cities in the United States. Therefore, in each big city, there are family strongholds. As the seat of the Magical Congress of the United States, although New York does not have the business of the Meng family, it still has a stronghold. However, due to the identity of the Meng family as an Oriental, it is somewhat embarrassing in the United States, so although the stronghold here is nominally important, in fact there are no people, and the limited few are family collaterals.

For this reason, when Daphany and Meng Yuchen came to the stronghold, they saw that all the adults here bowed down to greet Meng Yuchen and called them Miss.

"Let's go to the Magic Congress and make a note first." Meng Yuchen looked at his watch, although it was already dark, but it was actually not five o'clock, so he suggested to Daphne.

Daphany knew that this process had to be followed, otherwise if something happened during the period, it would be troublesome. 168

The Meng family's residence in New York is very close to the Woolworths Building, where the Magic Congress is located, although for a skilled wizard, as long as it is in a city, distance is of little practical significance.

When she arrived at the Magical Congress of the United States, Daphany's first impression was that the Magical Congress of the United States was richer than the British Ministry of Magic.

Daphne had been to the British Ministry of Magic several times for inheritance and the Potions Factory Muggle Exorcism Charm. Although it's not bad, it just gives people a very small family feeling. Compared with the atmospheric and bright Magical Congress of the United States, the momentum is much worse. But it's normal to think about it, an island country, with so many thousand magicians, it's strange that it can be compared with the United States.

Registration of foreigners is a very small matter, and in fact, if you don't do anything during your stay in the United States, it doesn't matter if you don't register. However, the Meng family is also a leader and face in the United States, and as their guest, Daphany feels that it is better to go through the legal process.

Registration was carried out in a large, spacious and bright room. In addition to a desk and a chair in the front and back, there was only a row of large filing cabinets against the wall. In charge was a sorceress who looked to be forty or fifty years old, with very kind eyes.

The wizard asked Daphany to sit down in the chair at her desk, and she took the application form that Daphany had filled out before entering the house. The application form is very simple, just name, age, and belongings.

This belongings refer to magical items. Daphany didn't bring anything with her on this trip except a change of clothes, so all she filled in was her wand.

"Miss Lestrants!" The witch looked at the registration form in her hand and said in a gentle tone: "What did you come to the United States for, and how long are you going to stay?" ”

"Come to visit a friend and spend Christmas with my adoptive mother who is here. Oh, my adoptive mother is not a wizard but an ordinary person. She's here on a business trip! I should be back before the Christmas holidays, I'm still in school. Daphany replied truthfully.

"Who are you visiting a friend?" The witch continued.

"Her name is Meng Yuchen." Daphany's introductory answer.

"Meng Yuchen!" The witch took out her wand and waved it lightly. A drawer in the filing cabinet behind him opened. The brush popped out for several meters, and it was stuffed with documents. I couldn't tell that there were so many things in that little cabinet.

A document flies out of the cabinet and falls into the witch's hand. The witch rolled her eyes twice: "Oh, it turned out to be the young lady of the Meng family." How did you meet? Well...... This is a question you can leave unanswered. The witch said, tossing the document away, and it landed exactly in the drawer, which closed quickly.

"She once visited our house, Hogwarts. That's when we met and became friends. Daphany said with a smile.

"Okay." The witch nodded in satisfaction, "Welcome to America, Miss Lestranthy." Given your age, we need to add a trace wire to your wand. The trail will disappear a hundred kilometers or twenty-four hours after you leave the United States. You can use magic during this time, but you can't use black magic unless there are special circumstances. If it is used, it is necessary to provide proof of necessity of use to our relevant departments within 24 hours after the event. Hope you understand. ”

"Okay, I remember." Daphany nodded. The United States, on the other hand, is much more lenient than the United Kingdom. In the UK, under the age of sixteen are not even allowed to use magic at all, and here you can't use black magic casually.

The witch nodded in satisfaction, signed the application underneath, and after stamping it for archiving, motioned for Daphine to take the stamped application to the next room to add a trace to the wand. After that, the registration process is completed. From beginning to end, counting the time for Daphany to fill out the registration form, it was less than ten minutes. The efficiency made Daphany very satisfied.

When Daphne came out of the Wizarding Congress's Alien Registry, Meng Yuchen was already waiting a little impatiently. The chick obviously doesn't like the place and looks uncomfortable.

As soon as he saw Daphany come out, Meng Yuchen hurriedly took it and left.

"What, frizzy. Are you resistant to this place? Daphany asked amusedly.

"This place is the most annoying." Meng Yuchen rolled his eyes and said, "I was doing well in the academy, but as a result, people from them came to the door at every turn, asking this and that, which was very annoying." ”

"Oh?" Daphany was interested: "Why is this happening?" ”

"Hey, it's not because of our family business." Meng Yuchen said helplessly: "Our family is one of the few families in the entire Americas that has the permission and ability to domesticate and hunt A-level or above demonic creatures, which is what you are talking about. So once there is some demonic creature here, it will cause trouble. I always think of our home. But those in charge of our family, they usually can't find it, so I'd better find it. There are stones in the head! I'm a student at school who knows a ghost! ”

Meng Yuchen's complaint made Dafanie thoughtful. It seems that the strength of the Meng family is really not small! The Magical Congress of the United States doesn't really want to know anything from Meng Yuchen's mouth, but wants to remind the Meng family that your family's descendants can be in our field of vision.

However, from this point of view, the relationship between the Meng family and the Magic Congress of the United States may not be friendly.

"By the way, there's been a big bustle recently, do you want to go and see it?" After dinner, at the Meng family's station, Meng Yuchen suddenly asked.

"What's the excitement?" Dephine replied dispensably. However, Meng Yuchen's next sentence made her feel energetic all of a sudden.

"Dragon Hunt!" Meng Yuchen said with burning eyes.
